What would Nick Saban do if a taunting penalty nullified an Alabama touchdown?

"Every player knows what the rule is," Saban said. "Every player's been told what the rule is. Every player's been shown what the rule is. We all accepted it as a rule to try to promote sportsmanship in our game, which I think is very, very important.

"The players know the consequences of doing these things before they score and after they score, so I don't think anybody else should be blamed for that. I'm not criticizing any players. I'm not evaluating the call."

"I would not be happy at all if it happened to us," Saban said, "but I would probably be more disappointed in the player than in the call."

I would say the players KNOW what will happen if that were to happen to them, that's why I don't think you will see it happen.

...and get a message from his daughter.

TR said that if they fumble the ball, they will be sitting on a bench. I think if a player got a taunting penalty that voided a score, they would be out of the game for quite a while.

[Old Tider]

Can't remember the game, but GMac really taunted like crazy after one TD last year.

OT, the weather here in Pensacola is London-esque this morning- A steady drizzle.

I think that has to be the biggest understatement of the century.

Actually it might be kind of fun to watch.  Maybe in a game where we have a big lead a player can do it just to satisfy our curiosity.

If the game was "in the bag", I can imagine he would say a few choice words, get red in the face, and chew him out really good.

If the game was close, and it could cause a loss, well, I cannot even imagine his reaction..a nuclear explosion comes close, but I think that does not really exemplify his reaction.

I know he would not do it, but the picture of him doing a "Woody Hayes" and popping the guy a good one in the mouth would be possible.

The fans reactions would be almost as extreme..the offending player would have to drop out of school for the semester to protect his health.

OK, nice to daydream, but we all know CNS has explained the "benefits of the process" to all players, so I can't ever see this happening, but in the immortal words of "Kung Fu", "who can say, grasshopper?"

LSU last year because of people calling his cellphone.
If somebody got a score called back, CNS would have heart failure right after he benched him for 4 weeks. RTR!
